This episode was recorded LIVE at RomanceCon September 2025 at the Must Love Books Podcast Panel: The Politics of Reading Romance.
Reading is political. Books are political. Art is political.
Please note: Some of the audience questions were very difficult to capture on the recording and may not be audible. I included what I was able to, but some of the questions you will only be able to hear the panel responses.
